For the 3d project my aim is to create a naturally constructed building created from recycled materials.
Society still has the view that recycled materials are second hand and less superior, I aim to reject these views by including them in the design of my house. Used materials add character and history to a building and as an aesthetic enhance the visual experience.
My main materials I wish to use are as follows.
The walls and main carcass of the structure will be constructed of recycled household bricks, this follows traditional and pre-traditional architectural principles but uses old architecture to create a seemingly new design.
Steel girders reclaimed from shipping yards or construction sites will be used to support the lower floor roofing section.
